a young mar who lives over on the north
side was telling some of his cronies one night
last week how his engagement with a certain
belle OF Pine street happened TO come to an
end
Il was very fond Of her" he said, and
thought her as sweet and pretty woman as
l ever saw. But You chaps know / aIn 4 little
sQueamiSh about some things. An unpleasant
thing to look at affects HE a great DEAL you
know In fact, have weakness IN that di-
Tection, but I can't help it. Say, did any of
you chaps ever have dentists dam put into
your MOUTH No? Well, then you can't ap-
preciate my feelings. One day dropped into
a dentists Office over on State street, and
there was my affianced sitting in the dentists
chair with the dentists dam in her mouth.

Well, its 4 rubber contrivance they put in
your mouth. They fasten it under your chin
SO that it is drawn down over your lips,
tongue and gums. They punch n little hole in
it, and let the tooth they want to operate on
stick up through the hole. The effect on the
appearance Of the subject is something awful.
A woman is never pretty when her mouth is
wide open and dentists fingers are trying
to open it a little wider But the dam adds
a hideOusneSs of which you can form no idea
until you see one at its Gorrid work. One
glance at the poor girl with that thing in her
mouth took all my love for her away. Pom
my word, had to go home that day with a
raging headache, all on account Of that awful
dam, but before night wrote her n note

Consumption Among the Indians

OF the present destroyers OF the Indians,
according to DR.. Washington Matthews, the
chief is consumption. Census returns show
that, while the death rate among Europeans
Is lGs4 per thousand, and that among Afri-
cans IS l...2S, the rate among tho Indians is
no less than go; and that, while among the
whites l6G deaths ii the thousand are from
consumption, and among the negroes 1sG,
there are $50 among the Indians. The in
fuence of civilization has greatly increased
the consumption rate among the Indians-the
effect seeming 10 be partly due to change Of
diet, and partly 10 causes not yet understood.

fies that the solid eouth is broken. In a
conversation with newspaper man he
said,
"Virginia and North Carolina, I am
frank to say, are lost to us. They will be
surely republican in the next presiden-
tial contest. The people are thoroughly
dissatisfied with the work of the last
democratic house of representatives,
They expected to see the tariff bill re-
vised, the tobacco tax removed, the ed
ucational bill passed and the distribu-
ton OF some of the surplus for internal
improvements. They were dIsappoint-
ed in everything, The solid south is
broken and probably it will never be
solid again. There is no prospect at all
that We can win in the next presidential
contest. Two or more of our southern
states will surely be republican and
with the labor developments OF the
past year it is easy to see that we can
not carry New York. That of course de-

A BEAR FIGHTING BAPTIST,
Thrilling Forest Experience of q
PluclkY Preacher.

Thrilling Forest Experience of
PIuclky Preacher.
Parkersburg, West Virginia, letter:
The Rev. Mr.. Webb, minister of the
Baptiet faith, whols well known in the
interior counties, had rough time OF it
o few days ago while traYeiing through
the woods. The section of the country
to which his duties call him is full OF
game and bears, Wildcats and panthers,
The preacher had been repeatedly ad-
vlsed to carry q revolver or gun, but
never went armed with anything more
formidable than pocket knife until
after his recent encounter.
On his last trip over the mountains
the preacher was quietly walking along
the top ofa ridge which was thIckly
covered with heavy timber, when he was
rupted by pig-like erunt directly in
front of him. Raising his eyes, expect
ing to see stray hog, he found himself
face with large bear, whose swapping
little eyes betrayed an intention to discuss
the right OF way with the reverend gen.
tleman. Mr.. Webb threw up his hands
and shouted at Bruin and advanced in a
threatening manner, expecting to See
the bear ambie away in fright. But the
unorthodox brute didn't run; on the
contrary, he reared up on his hind legs
and advanced towards the minister in q
threatening manner, with mouth open
and his black paws stretched out ready
to embrace his opponent in warm if
not affectionate manner. The preacher
lodged behind large oak tree and drew
his pocker knife.
just as the bear reached the tree the
doctor lodged around to the other side,
but was quickly followed by the bear.
The subsequent proceeding interested
| the doctor to such an extent that he for
got the text for the next Sundays SER
mon on which be had been ruminating.
Round and round they Ecurried; some
times the Gear would get close
enough to reach the doctors
coat sleeve or skirt, on, which
occasion he would eliminate portion
| of the doctors wearing apparel, and the
doctor would return the compliment by
plunging the knife blade into the bear 3
| paws, neck or nose. In short time the
doctor was almost completely stripped
of coat sleeves and shirt, and had q
number of scratches on his arms and
body, while the bear had received q
dozen or go of cuts and stabs from the
preachers knife.
1t didn't take many minutes OF this ex.
ercise to convince the preacher that he
was not an adept IN killing bears, and
he concluded to climb tree. By O
lucky stroke he stuck his knife into the
eye of the brute, which laV down and
whined pitifully. Taking advantage oil
the opportunity, Webb ran to the near
est tree with low-hanging branches and
scrambled up, but was none too soon
for the bear was on his feet aad after
him before he reached safe limb. a
bear is sn excellent climber, and IN q
! trice was in the tree with Webb, who be
4 gan to crawl farther ou
J, on the limb. The bear followed
him until be was within four o.
, fve feet of Webb. when the limb begal
to settle towards the ground. BruiI
hesitsted a moment and them CAREFUL,
edTaDced until he was within reach o

Webb's arm, when the latter Iunged out
for the bears sound eye and succeeded
in plunging his knife into the brute't
head. The bear lost his balance and
fell to the ground. The limb, which hao
been thus bent an angle of 40 degrees
by the combined weight of preacher an
bear, suddenly flew back to its natural
position, throwing the preacher into the
air. His descent was more rapid thar
graceful, and he landed almost on TOP
of the bear, which was by this time get.
ting upon his feet Webb was not hurt
by the fall, snd before the bear could
get his sound eye in proper bearing
Webb stabbed him in the neck md
severed the jugular vein. In anothe,
moment Eruln was dead at the preachers
feet.
